The Postman (1997) Trailer

Ah, The Postman The butt of so many late-'90s topical jokes, it makes Ishtar look like Citizen Kane. Ironically, Kenneth Turan's dyspeptic description of the film as "Mad Max directed by Frank Capra" is dead-on--but I consider that a positive. The Postman boasts a winning combination of ambition, sentiment, idealism, and insanity. Some three-hour films are a chore to sit through, but The Postman breezes through its runtime, brimming with a unique cinematic voice and offbeat charm usually lacking in big-budget studio fare.
